## MathML Test on MovableType

|

If you're on Firefox 4+, Safari 5+ or Internet Explorer 9 with MathType Player 3, the text below with be a MathML representation of Planck's Law.

If you want to replicate this you have to:

1. Paste the XML in the HTML code (i.e. NOT the WYSIWYG editor)
2. Make sure that the first line of the XML includes a link to the MathML namespace as follows:
`<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">`
3. I also like to use CSS to bump the font size - those super/subscripts can get very tiny.

All I can say is - Wow. I wish all my CMS systems played this well with MathML.

${\mathit{E}}_{\mathit{\lambda }\mathit{b}}=\frac{2\mathit{\pi }{\mathit{ℎc}}^{2}}{{\mathit{\lambda }}^{5}\left({\mathit{e}}^{\mathit{ℎc}-\mathit{\lambda }{\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{b}}\mathit{T}}-1\right)}$

P.S. If you send me comments on this blog, please note that this text may possibly depart from standard academic English. Linguists can do that, especially in a blog.
